The Ninja Warrior obstacle course was a popular challenge for children of all ages, boys and girls, at Granite Fest Saturday afternoon. There were numerous challenges, incuding this walking along raised discs that swing to reach the next piece. The event at Granite Civic Park ran from 1-7 p.m. and the town leaders hope to once again make it an annual event. There were games and activities, live music, food and vendors to entertain visitors for the afternoon. Photo by Elisabeth Strillacci
